I have a system here, basic core2, 2x512 ddr2, 1 7200 rpm hard drive and a brand new dell powersupply with 18 amps on 12volt, system runs perfectly doing orthos and video tests for over 20 hours each... I cannot get the thing to lock up.

Customers problem is it locks up on him, I'm almost curious if this could be because he has a 16 camera card in the machine to record. With that kicking in, with video card use and the encoding could it be overdrawing the power supply and locking the machine up....

So does anyone know if these kind of cards draw any real amount of power?
The base part of the system has more than enough power...
